The Purloined Letter
In The Purloined Letter, I felt so lost at times during the read. Although this was written by Edgar Allan Poe, this one story was quit a bore. I know most of his work, but i guess this story really has no goal, not a real direction. I might be mis understanding it, but views here state that this story was like a seinfled episode, a story about, nothing. If i have missed out on the point, could someone really help me out.
From what i understood, there was a cop seeking Dublin help. So i guess he told him about a letter that was missing and as a result are in search of a letter. Then after that, the officer offers Dublin money and grants him a large amount and wishes help to solve this crime of the missing letter.
Like most movies, some are bad and some are good, this short story just didn't sit well for me.
